Eni Opens Supercomputing Infrastructure to AI Partners
retained text
Off the Wire Press Releases MILAN, July 28, 2026 — Eni is opening up its supercomputing infrastructure to companies, start-ups and research centers, making its computational capacity, specialist expertise and advanced tools available to support the development of artificial intelligence solutions and digital innovation. The initiative comes at a time when digital infrastructure is playing an increasingly strategic role, becoming ever more central to industrial competitiveness and data sovereignty. Since 2013, with its Green Data Center, Eni has developed and consolidated distinctive expertise in the design, operation and enhancement of digital infrastructure dedicated to high-performance computing. Today, the Green Data Center hosts the HPC6 and HPC7 supercomputers, a combination that enables Eni to surpass Exascale-class performance, confirming the Company as the industrial organization with the world’s greatest supercomputing capacity. Eni’s commitment to the development of digital infrastructure is also reflected in its partnership with Khazna Data Centers to develop a next-generation AI Data Center Campus. Alongside the development of its infrastructure, Eni has progressively built distinctive expertise in supercomputing and artificial intelligence, applying it to its industrial processes and gradually making it available to the wider innovation ecosystem (e.g. through Call4Innovators). For Eni’s businesses, having their own proprietary computing capacity is a highly strategic choice, combining cost efficiency, operational flexibility, protection of know-how and technological sovereignty. An infrastructure developed around the Company’s specific requirements makes it possible to optimize costs compared with external solutions, progressively extend the use of supercomputing to new technological and energy-related applications, and protect the algorithms, data and expertise that provide Eni with a distinctive competitive advantage. Among the first companies and institutions to join the initiative are Domyn, Mercuria, Dompé, Almawave, Reply and the Bruno Kessler Foundation. Other companies, institutions and research centers will be able to join the initiative over time through project proposals of mutual interest. Eni will provide access to its supercomputing capabilities through the provision of AI services, with the aim of developing and maximizing the value of infrastructure, data and models securely, competitively and in line with Italian and European industrial and Institutional interests, also supporting digital sovereignty. The initiative will enable partners to develop and maximize the value of new artificial intelligence models, advanced simulations and projects with demanding computational requirements, benefiting from a faster time to market made possible by earlier access to this type of service. More from HPCwire: Eni’s HPC7 Debuts at No. 6 on TOP500 as HPC6 and HPC7 Combined Surpass Exascale About Eni Eni is an integrated energy company, founded in 1953, with 31.376 employees in 69 countries around the world, including Algeria, Angola, Mozambique, Mexico, Indonesia and Italy.
